Solve the inequality and graph the solution.

Question

6–u>12
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 6 - u > 12, we first subtract 6 from both sides to isolate u:

6 - u - 6 > 12 - 6
-u > 6

Next, we multiply both sides by -1 to change the direction of the inequality:

(-1)(-u) < (-1)(6)
u < -6

The solution to the inequality is u < -6.

To graph this inequality, we draw an open ray with an arrow pointing to the left of -6 on a number line.
